A blog of two halves

A 6-2 win helped banish fans' concerns over early wobbles under new gaffer Enzo Maresca.

The Whites were victorious in both the Premier League and Carabao Cup this week.

The 2-0 victory over Servette sets up an interesting second leg in Geneva against the Swiss Cup champions, but based on this performance it’s far from certain the Blues will progress in the Europa Conference.

Acton simply couldn't dislodge the Bush attack.

The women's team had better opening day luck, with a big win at Craven Cottage.

Shepherds Bush cricketers had an exciting away win against North Middlesex at the weekend.

It's pretty clear who the Blues fans’ No1 hero is this season.

Newcomers at the Cottage this August include Emile Smith Rowe from Arsenal, Jorge Cuenca from Villarreal and (haven’t we met?) Ryan Sessegnon from Spurs.

Shepherds Bush Cricket Club’s women achieved their third league win of the season – a one-wicket victory against Stoke Newington 2nd Xl.

The start of any new season is often a mixture of hope and foreboding.
